Instructions
-
In a wok or large sauce pan, over medium high heat, sauté red onions, green peppers, with olive oil for 5 minutes
-
Reduce to medium low and add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute more (constantly stirring so that the garlic doesn’t burn); you can add a little more olive oil if you need to.
-
Add Gochujang paste and soy sauce and stir for 1 more minute.
-
Then add broth, agave nectar, rice wine vinegar and green onions and let simmer for 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, cook your noodles; drain when finished and set aside.
-
Add cooked noodles and spinach to the wok, stir well until combined and let simmer for about 2-3 more minutes until the spinach has wilted.
Recipe Notes
This is SPICY! Use less Gochujang paste to turn down the heat.
For the Japanese udon wheat noodles, I use Hakubaku brand.
